AYER prefixes in area code 978
NANPA records 10 assigned NXX blocks to rate center AYER in area code 978, 1.3% of the 773 blocks assigned in the code. A rate center is the billing geography a block is allocated to – NANPA truncates the name to ten characters, so read it as a NANPA label rather than a town. 5 holders hold those blocks, the largest being VERIZON NEW ENGLAND INC. (4), PAETEC ITEL, LLC (3), MCIMETRO ACCESS TRANSMISSION SERVICES LLC (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-05-08 and the most recent 2016-07-01. 9 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
